Ashurst Road,High Matlock Road,and up near the peacock !! I have hear they moved a lot of people off the kelvin flat's up into the High Rise,and Maisonettes !! used to be a nice area !! climaxchick 17-02-2005, 05:51 Exactly what part of stannington are you talking about? bartman82 17-02-2005, 08:38 i would suggest a nice greasy spoon cafe............ poppins 17-02-2005, 12:00 Originally posted by bartman82 i would suggest a nice greasy spoon cafe............

I think they reach Roscoe Bank and then disapear down a black hole never to be seen again. It is one of the great mysteries of the world. slimsid2000 17-02-2005, 13:21 Originally posted by deanprez Not the bit where i used to live..........over the other side ! Ashurst Road,High Matlock Road,and up near the peacock !! I have hear they moved a lot of people off the kelvin flat's up into the High Rise,and Maisonettes !! used to be a nice area !! Very true. It would be better to bull down those buildings, rehouse the people in a more suitable area (say Wybourn, Manor) and build a small number of luxuary houses on the land. This would do wonders to improve the area and increase house prices. I doubt the council are brave enough to do it. Not very PC I'm afraid. ps. The area where the flats are is not Stannington but Roscoe Bank/Hall Park Head. Peopel who live there and say they live at Stannington are like those people from Totley Brook who say they live at Dore. They do not. People should be honest about where they live. foo_fighter 17-02-2005, 14:05 Originally posted by slimsid2000 The area where the flats are is not Stannington but Roscoe Bank/Hall Park Head.

Why, where do you live... ...and make sure it's not Knowle Top, Upper Gate, Nethergate or Park Side. Oh, but that won't matter will it, 'cos they're full of "nice" people too. :rolleyes: duffman 17-02-2005, 14:16 Don't forget you only live in Stannington if you pay your tax to Bradfield parish council, the boundry that is till in effect runs from the Sportsman pub to the top of Rails Road, all this lower Stannington upper/malin bridge stuff is a load of ****. I am just inside the boundry at Rails Road end. Not sure where the boundry lies in the other directions heading to Rivelin and Loxley Valley. I used to live in the maisonettes and the insides are really sapacious and nice, they're soundproof so you can make all the noise you want and it WAS a nice area but we moved back up becuase in the space of a few months the area got run down. I think the youth club still runs in the church hall doesn't it? A small gym facility would do me.

It's too steep. foo_fighter 17-02-2005, 15:19 Originally posted by Sam Miguel It badly needs levelling off. It's too steep. Now, you see, your wrong there, Stannington's nice and flat... ...it's the nearby "steep" areas that are "pretending" to be Stannington just giving it a bad name. :rolleyes: |
